Why do women?

Question

go to the bathroom in packs?

Answer 1

FOR GOSSIP AND FEMALE CRITICISM

Answer 2

I wouldn't say ""packs"because only dogs and wolves travel in packs.

I believe women go to the bathroom together so as not to be left to carry
on a conversation after the other one leaves.

Women also exchange the excitement or the boredom of the evening,
when they go to the bath room.

Answer 3

It stems from long ago when the earth was wild. Going off into the woods to pee could result in being skewered by a wild boar or some such critter. As a result, women always headed off together. That "instinct" is still intact anywhere that a woman might run the risk of being threatened (such as at a wild bar, for example). There are always exceptions to the rule, but that's the reason why.

Men, to show they are capable of handling themselves in a dangerous environment, go by themselves. In fact, it's considered a serious "faux-pas" among men to go at the same time.

Answer 4

I'm a man. If I'm sitting down having a nice pint of beer with another man - then said to him loudly: "I'm going to the toilet, coming with me?"

I will probably miss having my knee-caps in the middle of my legs and I'll be picking up my teeth from the floor with my broken arm.

Women (or girls) most probably go to the bathroom so they can talk, borrow make-up, slag off someone behind their back or simply because they are subconsiously copying their mams in the same way as guys copy their dad's habits.

Or they all could be having an orgy!

Answer 5

Ugh, I don't know! I have always hated that. I had a friend who would pressure me into going to the bathroom with her and it just made me feel uncomfortable. I think they mostly use it as a place to gossip. Which is so stupid if you consider that anyone could be in the stalls! I mean gosh, don't they ever watch saved by the bell?

Answer 6

Because they like to talk in the bathroom. It is a social norm for girls to talk in the bathroom. It is against social norms for guys to talk in the bathroom, so thats why there's no need to go in packs.

Answer 7

I think women are generally embarrased by bathroom things (I said generally, not ALL women, as there's always exceptions), so there are power in numbers. My wife is embarrassed just getting up from the table in a restaurant and going to bathroom, so she always takes my daughter. However, people still know she's going to the freakin' bathroom, by herself or not!!!

Answer 8

I never ask someone to go with me. But if someone announces that they are going and I have to go as well I'll get up and say that I'm going too. More so so that it's not a constant rudeness of constantly getting up and going and people coming and going from whereever we are. Sometimes a gf needs to talk about something and she'll drag me along...

Answer 9

most of the time we go to the bathroom we are going to reapply makeup or check ourselves out in the mirror, and when doing those things women like a consultant... "does my hair look okay?" "is this the right color lip gloss with my outfit?" "should i put my hair up or leave it down?" things like that... and you can't ask a stranger to help you out with those things because that'd be sorta awkward... so you need ur friends there too.

Answer 10

Well me and my friends do it because we herd on the news how girls can get raped in the bathroom when they are by themselves...like a guy will be watching and see you go in by yourself....so that's why my friends and I go in packs.

peace.

Answer 11

There are many great and unexplained phenomena in our vast universe. Some of the most vexing are the Loch Ness Monster, spontaneous human combustion, and how to get ketchup out of the bottle without sticking a knife in it. But perhaps the most confounding conundrum is why women go to the bathroom in groups.

Men don’t do it. Sure they seem to enjoy group activities, but not where the bathroom’s concerned. It’s only natural that the topic raises curiosity and debate among men. Theories abound…


“I have this vision that the girls belong to gangs — one takes the others to watch her back; safety in numbers, you know. The ladies’ room periodically erupts into a cat fight of epic proportions as the girls duke it out for the cutest guy,” says John, 27, a Houston-based software developer. “And the reason they take so long in there is because they have to clean up after the fight.”


“I figure they’re working out a game plan… you know, deciding which girl will go after what guy,” posits Lee, a 32 year-old finance officer in Providence. “Sort of like a pride of lions determines which wildebeest to attack.”


“Or they’re talking about their dates and comparing notes,” adds Wayne, a 35 year-old MBA candidate. “You know, ‘Did you see the spinach in his teeth?’ ‘How ugly is that tie?’ or in my case, ‘How could I not go home with him tonight?’”


“Personally, I think the bathroom is their clubhouse or something — the female equivalent of a guy’s rec room,” says Ian, an IT consultant in Seattle. “They go in there to escape from the guys hitting on them, probably. Maybe there’s a trap door or something so they can sneak out. Because several of my mates and I have been chatting up some birds who then excuse themselves to go to the loo and they never return.”


“It’s probably something Wiccan,” offers Manny, 45, a scriptwriter in Hollywood. “There’s probably a cauldron in there, and they’re casting spells on the unsuspecting men outside. Or is that the movie I’m working on?”


“I don’t have the foggiest idea why they have to go together,” says Maury, 50, a Charlotte-based photographer. “It used to make me nervous, but after three-plus decades of dating, I just chalk it up to something peculiar to women. Maybe it’s like how men can’t go to the bathroom without taking the newspaper, a book or a magazine.”

Of course, as a woman, I know the reason why. And I could tell you. But then I’d have to kill you.
